As Usual, Politics Ruins Everything
We don't like to get political out here — at all — but we did find this document amusing, right on the cusp of the NCAA tourney.

Man, America Gets All The Breaks
We're half an hour away from USA baseball's second game in the World Baseball Classic, facing Jason Bay and some other Canadians.

A-Rod Chucks Dominicans Under the Bus
Well, not really. But regardless of how it plays out, that's what most people will think. Everybody seems to just HATE this guy.

A-Rod Finally Stops Spinning
Honestly, we're starting to get a little embarrassed to even post about this, but hey, we're here, this is our job, this is what we do ... it's time for another Alex Rodriguez in the World Baseball Classic post. (We've covered this, let's see, here, here and here.)...

OK, everyone and their mother has been sending this to us this morning, so we might as well do something on it. Apparently, Yankees third baseman/lipstick model Alex Rodriguez made the mistake last week of dining at the same restaurant as a blogger (or a friend of a blogger, anyway)....

Joe Torre, Masochist
One of our favorite games as a kid — and still, actually — was "Rock And A Hard Place." You remember the game: It involved making someone choose between two equally undesirable options.
